Since 1998, Jan Vikas Sansthan has been a driving force for change, empowering marginalized Dalit and Musahar communities in Jaunpur and Azamgarh districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Born from a movement of Dalit youth determined to fight caste-based discrimination and injustice, we focus on improving education, health, livelihoods, and gender equality — with a special emphasis on women, adolescents, and families facing social and economic exclusion.
